The big rancor in Episode VI isn’t just a wild animal, but a beloved beast named Pateesa. And the rancor’s trainer and carekeeper was Malakili, a kind man who raised the young rancor from a baby to a big ol’ monster. Of course, Luke Skywalker killed Pateesa in Return of The Jedi. Later on, in canon, Malakili would pick up the pieces of his life and open up a restaurant after being saved by Cobb Vanth, aka the sheriff from The Mandolorian. He was also in the PS1 game, Star Wars Demolition. But nobody cares about that.
